Other drivers

I'm going to be honest. My road rage is off the charts today, and I really think it's a completely reasonable response to the preponderance of incapable idiot drivers littering the streets. What in the sam hill happened to drivers ed in this country? Is it just a suggestion? Not enforced? Everyone should have to live in Boston for a year; after that, they'll drive aggressively but skillfully. Someone running for office should make a motion to that effect. At least it would actually do something for the public good. Jesus h.

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I'm going to send my angst the way of whatever sloughs off my feet in this pedicure which will, after all the Italian hoofing around, probably be substantial. The gal at my 3:00 has had so much honking botox. Seriously, her forehead looks carved from marble. It's weird. I'm not totally averse to women getting a little somethin'-somethin' here and there, but look normal for the love.

Ok, now I'm really going to find my zen. Bon Appetit, here I come.

Jet lagging...

Ooh, jet lag is kicking my ass today. I am beyond tired, like so tired I'm nauseous, like I could maybe go to bed for the night right now and it's 3:34p. Alas, I will have to hold out. A dear friend is bringing me a coffee and her daughter for a playdate. Fantastic! Look at these great shots from the garden today.

It has turned into a beautiful day. I think I'll sweep the pollen off the deck and T and I can eat outside. Nice.

Back into the swing of things

We're getting there! Everyone is still waking up sometime in the late 4s, early 5s which is no fun but ah well, jet lag is a pain. J is happy to be back at school, Ol and I are staying busy. I posted the recipe from last night -Halibut with Herb-Citrus Salsa and Israeli Couscous Risotto- and this evening will be making my whole wheat spaghetti with chicken, fennel, currants and mascarpone. It is fab!

Do you know what I found beyond weird? I just had to go to FOUR stores to find matches. Matches, people. Isn't this a basic sort of product?? Do you know what was nice? Being disengaged from American politics for nearly two weeks.

Tomorrow's One Day Deal at Whole Foods is large fruit tarts, $9.99 each (usually $20.99 or something like that).
